An emerging ecosystem of services and
standards
It's real!
Its Irreversible
Digital technologies enable changes similar as Web2.0 to the internet
Exponential growth of data – data driven science Globalisation and growth of the science community Pressure on the science system to address faster the Grand
Challenges Rising expectations of citizens for science to deliver and be
transparent Demand for accountable, responsive and transparent science Digital "natives" entering the research population
It´s not happening in isolation
• Open source software • Collaborative knowledge production • Creative commons • Open innovation • The sharing/collaborative economy ("collaboratism") • MOOC • Web 2… what started +/- 15 years ago is deeply affecting (“paradigm shift”) commerce, manufacturing, health, government, social relations, media, culture,…. and now science and research
Better value for money by strengthening the productivity of the European science and research system
More transparency, openness and networked collaboration
More efficiency, reliability and responsiveness
It offers great opportunities
Background
• Assess the degree of awareness amongst the stakeholders of the changing modus operandi
• Assess the perception of the opportunities and challenges
• Identify possible policy implications and actions to strengthen the competitiveness of the European science and research system
Numbers: • From 03.07.2014 to 30.09.2014 • 498 submitted responses of which 164 Organisations
and 38 Public Authorities • 28 position papers voluntary submitted in addition to
questionnaire

On what issues within 'Science 2.0' do you see a need for policy intervention?
Mean
Mean - std
Mean + std
Rank : the lowest need (1) to the highest need (11)
Objectives of possible future policy initiative (results from validation workshops)
• Support big data infrastructure needs (also governance) • Improving Framework Conditions (Removing barriers, creating
incentives) for fostering Open Science • Making science more efficient (better use of and sharing of
resources), reliable (replicability/re-use of data) and more responsive to societal challenges
Stakeholders share these expectations of 'Open Science' with large majority, on "condition": • Bottom up • Stakeholder driven
Roadmap
Open Science as horizontal priority action under the Digital Single Market initiative of the European Commission (March- May 2015)
Discussions @Competitiveness Councils (3 & 5/2015)
Launch of a European Open Science Agenda. 22/23 June 2015: Open Science/European Research Area/ Innovation Conference: "A new start for Europe: Opening up to an ERA of Innovation"
European Open Science Agenda – potential actions (under discussion) Fostering Open Science: Creating incentives and removing barriers, e.g.
• Establish a stakeholders forum at European Level and a self-regulation/ clearinghouse mechanism for addressing Open Science issues
• Propose a European "code of conduct" setting out the general principles and requirements of how Open Science should affect the roles, responsibilities and entitlements of researchers and of their employers
European Open Science Agenda – potential actions (under discussion) Mainstream Open Access to publications and data, e.g.
• Consider extending the Horizon 2020 pilot on Open Access to data
• Develop EU guidelines for addressing IPR issues and the funding of data-management
European Open Science Agenda – potential actions (under discussion) Develop research infrastructures for Open Science, e.g.
• Mandate the development of common interfaces and data standards
• Coordinate at European Level the funding/ maintenance and interoperability of research infrastructures
• Support the development of a European Research Cloud for data, protocols and methodologies
